The mission of Zeno Mountain Farm is to support lifelong friendships and opportunities for people with and without disabilities and other marginalized communities. We host annual retreats and camps at our home base in Lincoln, VT. Currently, we have 12 different retreats throughout the year spanning over 100 days. The goal at Zeno is to create a world where all can thrive, feel connected, and be empowered. We believe people do not need to be “fixed”. Rather, we need to create a world where everyone has access to these opportunities. At Zeno, the diverse abilities of our group enhance everything we do. Art projects, sports, traveling, theater, film, and just hanging out are all enriched by our integrated group. We host a wide variety of camps and retreats throughout the year. This is where we live the Zeno model of community.

Unapei is an associative network that brings together more than 330 associations of parents and friends of people with disabilities in France.
